The Canon SX10 is an outstanding camera sold at a fair price. The highly literate nature of some of the reviews gives a good clue as to who is buying it.
I am depriving it of one star because of one inept design decision - albeit one that the user easily can remedy.
As designed, the camera cannot take filters which would be a serious defect in a camera of this class. My guess is that some marketing person did not want the SX10 to compete with Canon's more expensive SLR's, a marketing strategy that has been tried, unsuccessfully, by other companies in the past.
The fix is easy. The SX10 comes with a sunshade that attaches to a fixture built onto the barrel. Lensmate sells a well-made ring which uses that fixture and which holds 58mm screw-in filters. Of course, while it is attached one cannot use the sunshade, but for about $7 one can buy a screw-in sunshade that works just as well and that can be used in conjunction with the filters.
